Peace for a common man indicates the existing condition in his/her surroundings. Everyone expects peace to come from the external sources to the extent that can fulfil one’s satisfactory level. Man is not separate from his society. So, if s/he has expectations of a peaceful environment there are duties/skills which he himself or herself should develop and follow. It can be started from one to many and vice-versa and in harmony. For this there is a need of self-regulation in everyday life which can foreshadow peace in gradual steps. This is possible only when one understands his/her Self. Peace is each one’s responsibility in every simple manner one can. We should not depend on the Government or any authority or organization to grant peace. This attitude has to be changed because Government is of the people, by the people and for the people. One of the biggest reasons of conflict, violence and unrest is that we try to think for ourselves first, our own needs and desires too. There are ways to peace if we all are willing. First of all, the goal and then our efforts with mutual trust and respect can make everyday life better. To know about other people, their way of life is necessary for a better communication and to maintain healthy relationships. Even the stranger in a remote place, though harmful, is our responsibility, to prevent him/her from disturbing peace and to know the root cause of his/her inner conflict or state of mind. It is the self-regulation strategies which everyone should follow and practise in his/her immediate environment such as home, neighbourhood, institution and workplace. This can start from the local to the global level. This paper is a humble attempt to reflect on our everyday life, how we lead it, our thinking, feeling and doing that not only affects ourselves but also the surroundings and society. Health factor both physiological and mental has a role to play in inner peace and the peace to be built all around us. Several other causes as obstacles to inner peace, how to deal with them and self-regulation in various ways are included in this paper. Also to be aware of the basic life skills which will help to maintain our inner peace and our peaceful co-existence with the living and non-living around.

<p>Indonesia has the potential vulnerability enormous energy availability. From the supply side, Indonesia has not showed the synergy between the depletion of oil and gas on a large scale with the search for new sources of its reserves. Searching new reserves abroad also yet to show tangible results and not get full supported from the government. Meanwhile, shares of oil and gas is still a very big role in the national energy mix of Indonesia up to 25 years to come. The government also has not succeeded in converting the results of oil and gas into industrial assets. Prioritizing local-content policy produces only rents of business that would increase the cost of production and distribution of oil and gas to the people.</p>

At times when we are faced with uncertainty, fear of the unknown, anxiety about a new disease, and what could happen can be overwhelming and cause strong emotions, not just in adults but in children as well. Necessary government guidelines, such as social distancing, can make people feel isolated and lonely and can increase stress and anxiety. Though these actions are necessary to reduce the spread of COVID-19, healthily coping with stress will make you, the people you care about, and your community stronger. This prospective study is aimed to assess the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on mental health and to investigate how the community can remain happy. The one thing which is spreading faster than the infectious disease during the pandemic is the negative energy, with total confirmed cases touching 1 crore, millions of people losing their jobs, and many losing their beloved ones. Awareness regarding mental health is a must. During this phase, there is extremely minimal knowledge about the impact of such epidemics on community mental health. This gap in knowledge means we are less prepared, critically ill-equipped to support communities as we face unprecedented times. In situations like these, all of us have to come forward. It is our responsibility how we handle this, our include both the government and each and every citizen of the country.

The COVID-19 pandemic is an unprecedented humanitarian challenge which requires innovative solutions. One apparent challenge among governments is to come up with appropriate funds to finance economic stimulus packages. Such stimulus packages are necessary for the protection and wellbeing of the people and to ensure that the economic operations remain intact. By looking into Islamic economics, various solutions can be explored as offered through Islamic social finance instruments such as zakat, waqf, and sadaqah, as well as its innovative solutions specifically available from the capital market sectors. This chapter explores the potential development of an impact-waqf SRI sukuk for funding economic stimulus packages, with special focus to Malaysia. This chapter proposes a solution in achieving such purpose by referring to the Impact-Waqf SRI sukuk, either based on temporary or permanent cash waqf structure. Returns of investments to investors ultimately depend on the social impact and key performance indexes (KPIs) as achieved from the economic stimulus packages. It is found that the impact-waqf SRI sukuk can be issued either by the government or government-linked company (GLC) and economic stimulus packages can be offered to institutional as well as retail sectors. An option can be given to the investors to waive-off their claims on the capital and returns. Consequently, the government can offer tax rebates or coupons which are equivalent to the value of the waived-off investment.

The term incarnation is used to illustrate how God humbled Godself by tranforming Himself into a human being like the believers so they can comprehend the Kingdom of God. As Cristians, we are invited to actualize the Kingdom of God in our everyday life. We are called also to promote the Kingdom of God to all creatures especially those who are poor, hungry, and suffering. “Blusukan”1 as an activity conducted by a priest to go around and come in to the place that is rarely visited or not most people preferred to come is a way to realize the theology of incarnation. With this way, a priest as a shepherd meet the people and get to know them in their real situation. As Jesus - Son of God - who came among the people to save them in the incarnation, the presence of the priests through “blusukan” pastoral strategy become the spirituality of diocesan priest that was expected to answer the needs of the people so that they also experienced the salvation.

Dr. Hammond: I would like to direct some questions to Doctors Sloan and Schulte. One of our biggest problems has been alluded to several times—manpower—not only more pediatric hematologists, but technicians as well. I would like to ask about the plans the government may have about the medical manpower problem. Where are all the people going to come from for regional programs and for the opportunities which can be made use of if people are available to care for patients according to protocol studies? Specifically, are there provisions which would enable us to establish summer cancer fellowships for medical students? Perhaps by association with a department that seems to be getting something done and demonstrating that there are some gratifications from working in this area we can interest young physicians in the field. Obtaining good technicians is a constant problem for us—the clinical laboratory as well. We have a double standard in our hospital. The blood counts done by our clinical laboratory are not the same blood counts that we do in hematology research. If we had funds and time to train the technicians in our clinical laboratory, specifically in the areas of competence which we need, we could perhaps eliminate the double standard. Dr. Sloan: The clinical training grants of the National Cancer Institute can provide support, both at the medical student and the house staff level, for special training in areas related to cancer. These are mostly in teaching hospitals. Perhaps Doctor Schulte can tell you a little more about what is available in the community hospitals, but before I hand the microphone over to him, I would think that, between the Cancer Control Branch and the Division of Regional Medical Programs and the Allied Health Professions bill which did pass, although with very small funds, programs for the further training of technicians to meet specific needs will be adequately supported.

This chapter assesses William McKinley's campaign for presidential nomination. The contest for the Republican nomination in 1896 commenced early in the administration of Grover Cleveland. In 1892, the country had voted to try the experiment of a change in the fiscal policy of the government. But the result was more serious than had been anticipated. It seemed to be apparent, shortly thereafter, that the people were waiting with impatience for the next election day to come so as to enable them to reverse the decision they had made in 1892. In anticipation of that fact, the indications were that the contest for the Republican presidential nomination in 1896 would be a spirited and lively one. It appeared that the leading candidates would be Major William McKinley of Ohio and Speaker Thomas B. Reed of Maine.

Constitution means the structure of a body, organism or organization i.e. what constitutes it or of what it consists of. Constitution of a country spells out the basic fundamental principles or established precedents on which the state is organized. It lays down the structure of the political system under which its people are to be governed. It establishes the main organs of the State-the legislature, the executive and the judiciary, demarcates their responsibilities and regulates their relationships with each other and with the people. All authority in the hands of any organs, institutions or functionaries of the state flow from the Constitution. In a country like ours, adopting a written Constitution which mandates Judicial Review of the constitutionality of State activity in cases needing it and the laws enacted by legislature, the role of Judiciary cannot be restricted to the primitive function of dispensing justice. The role of judiciary in enforcing judicial review, must for all purposes keep the Government in good tune with the changing times and it should not be allowed to drift to become anachronistic or out of reasoning with the need of the day.

In 428b.c.e.the city of Mytilene launched a revolt against the Athenians and invited the Spartans to send them assistance. The plans for the revolt were reported to the Athenians (3.2), who sent a force against the city (3.3). The Mytilenians asked for help from the Spartans (3.4.5–6), but the fleet they sent arrived too late to help the city (3.26.4). The revolt appears to have been the initiative of the city's wealthier citizens: Thucydides reports (3.27–8) that heavy armour was not distributed to the people until Salaethus, the leader of the rebellion, realized that Spartan help would not arrive in time. Once the people received this armour, they refused to take orders from officials and held meetings, insisting that the government should distribute all available grain. If they did not, they threatened to negotiate on their own with the Athenians about surrender. The government was powerless to stop them and decided it was best to come to terms with the Athenians. It was agreed that the Athenians would have the power to act as they wished with the city and that the Mytilenians would have the right to send envoys to Athens to plead their case before the Assembly.
